Review from Operations Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team has a constant forward looking vision. They still manage to keep that family feel for the most part...
The leadership team is consistently fair and focused on improving the steength of the business.
They are down to earth and take the time to listen to teammates.
The leadership team been amazing so far.
That they always take the time to tell us hello and ask us how we are, everyone is always smiling.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Raise the pay for people who actually make the money for the company
communication and employee help fast
Problem solving situations between teammates rather than pointing a finger
Review from Operations Dept
Boundaries of terriotoes, people who have the same position doing things 8 different ways but not for you..... need to listen when you say you have a disablilty.
Loyalty, loyalty, mixd withvsome loyalty
What is the best part about your compensation package?
It is my pay rate
Everything it has to offer.
Everything. I get a ton of time off if you count vacation, personal, and that they bank you a holiday every time you work one which gives you at least another week of pto each year, plus the 5 days of sick time you can schedule or use for call ins. BCBS is priced well, plenty of extra options & flex
If you work 17 hours or more you can make money
Review from Customer Success Dept
Mclane has always paid competivly, if not a leader in compensation. I wish they could do some kind of longterm give back to a longterm employer thru the % they match in the 401k. I cannot really complain about the 401k. I would like to see some kind of increasing "match" the longer your an employee
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The DCM manager and HR with Mechanics are horrible
Review from Operations Dept
We are all undervalued. You might as well be soitting in our faces the way this company takes care of the people that actually work and do eight by McLane
Benefits are deplorable…I have only worked for 3 major companies including McLane and have never seen such a horrific benefit package…borderline as bad as having none at
Pay is grossly less than hours out in. You are lied to on hire regarding the hours you're expected to work.
Constant 15 hour days are not what I signed up for
Review from Operations Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Team work is the main goal
The teammates are amazing and doesn't get tge credit they deserve
How we learn eachother and learn to work together to let each other pass effectively which lets us all select effectively.
Quality folk. But arent lasting long under the current management.
Review from Operations Dept
I work with a large number of high caliber people. Diverse workforce.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stealing the food out of the packages
Review from Operations Dept
to be actual co-workers help, suggesting things...not threaten you or lie about you to other co-workers. I had brought this bit up to the supervisors and was pretty much waved off.
Review from Operations Dept
Have each other's back Like they should
Review from Product Dept
You hired a new transportation manager. Ive seen this person one time!!!! She wont even come in at night to introduce herself!!!! Is she better than us drivers!!!
People seem that because they have worked in the company for some years. They are a bunch of lazy people some of them and don,t have any respect for their fellow workers.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I dont have just one thing its all good
I think it’s all about the people and the energy you bring in the door each day. I bring good energy everyday and encourage everyone and give them tips that have helped me and I think it takes so-so selectors to the next level. Smiling and calling people by name does wonder
Teammate focused and genuinely caring.
CLOCKING OUT AND GOING HOME
Pay day was the good days of work
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Restructure management. Specificaly the HR department.
Review from Operations Dept
These hoes aint loyal, even a little
Management needs to change their employees do not respect Management the place is out of hand and something really needs to be done
Upper management needs to do their job and talk to employees
Get them to understand that people want to go home at a decent hour each day.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The HR manager was amaIng
The process included leadership with clear expectations.
WHEN IT WAS OVER AND TIME TO GET TO WORK
How smooth the interview was handled
My manger was straight forward .
Review from Customer Success Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Be truthful about working hours
Get some of the people who have worked there for a while do some work because there are quite a few who think now they can do what they want to do when I go to and have no respect for their fellow co-workers
Be honest and tell the truth. Don't "sugar coat" anything
MCLANE TAKES FOREVER FOR THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AND LEAVE PEOPLE HANGING TO THE POINT THEY FIND OTHER JOBS.
What makes you most happy at work?
The freedom i have daily
Being able to be effective and fast while setting an example for new employees by doing my job to the best of my ability every moment I’m at wor
Accomplishments are recognized in a challenging environment.
Just doing my job. I have worked in customer service, accounting dept, and now account coordinator. Always variety in daily tasks, so I never get bored.
My colleagues are the best!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It will never be inproved because from the CEO down, nothing will change. Theres always talk about how things will get better hut they only get worse foe the little people. Leadership does not care, again, even from thr top!
There's so much wrong it's hard to put on here. The only way I think it can be improved is to find leadership who cares and can lead. That's an extremely RARE quality these days.
Management do not listen to the authorities they're all about control and you are there to do what they say and that's it if you don't like what they're saying you can leave that's why there is a high turnover rate I'm pretty sure
Do what you say your going to do in driver meetings and stop blowing smoke. Tired of hearing!!! Start doing!!!
How about not shoring them product every route. My customers complain to me daily. Do you know your customer service department hangs up the phone on them.
What do you like best about your company?
people and family atmosphere in all departments
The work is interesting and I am good at it.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Managers and VPs allowed to continue going against company initiatives
